One Question

Whoa! Big question from Bobby there!

Sweetheart we all love you.

But I know that’s not enough, so here’s my sensible answer, and as usual I’m going to tell it as a story.

I met an old friend a few weeks back, let’s call him Mark.

Mark has been having a hard time over the last few years as his wife was poorly, very poorly, and unfortunately it ended badly with Mel’s death last year. But this isn’t a story of gloom, this is a story of joy.

Mark realised that he is not cut out to live alone and had to find someone new to share his life with – but he’s 40 and he had no interest in going to the sort of places where he might just find someone within his suitable age range who was single and not a bunny boiling maniac, with their face distorted by plastic surgery and an orange tan (Mark’s words, but we know the type don’t we?).

Another friend of his told him to try Parship, which is one of the online dating agencies.

I had to suspend my scepticism for a while. I didn’t like the idea much, but understood Mark’s position.

I wouldn’t be telling this if it weren’t going well would I? And sure enough it is. Mark was sent details of a few women who had been profiled by Parship and seemed to be a good match for Mark. He met three of them. He arranged all the meetings at once and saw all three women over the following two weeks and enjoyed meeting each of them. He only met one girl again, and then met her again, and again. They have only been together for three months so far, but Mark says that he has no idea how he could have met such a lovely girl without Parship.

How’s that for a sweet, true, and sincere answer to a difficult question?

But Bobby – just remember we all have to vet any man you want to date.
